A leader in political consulting, Chuck Rocha operates Solidarity Strategies, the biggest U.S. political consulting firm owned and operated by Latinos. Outside of this role, Chuck Rocha is a fellowship advocate with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, Inc., which offers youth a college preparation and leadership program called Ready 2 Lead.

Ready to Lead gathers Latino high school students for interactive college preparation seminars in multiple cities, from New York and Chicago to Phoenix and Los Angeles. Through his weekend event, students learn about the process of applying to college and paying for their educations. They leave the event better equipped to create a competitive college application.

Ready 2 Lead allows students to attend workshops and team-building exercises and learn from successful Latino leaders and educators, who serve as mentors during the Mentoring Power Hour. This session divides students into small groups where they can glean insight from Latino mentors as they prepare for college.
